this post is not related to jeremy lin

it came to my attention that my last few posts involved our local hero jeremy lin. while he’s been doing great after the warriors dropped him needlessly, i thought i should break up the conversation with other things, like this funny video of italian model catrinel menghia trying to sell us the fiat 500 abarth.

there is a fiat dealer in fremont with those annoying spotlights at nighttime, but i can’t complain if they are introducing this kind of funny content into our lives.

a rough translation:

“what are you looking at? what are you looking at? [slap]
are you undressing me with your eyes?Â yes?
…poor guy â€¦ you can’t help it
Is your heart beating? Is your head spinning?
Do you feel lost thinking that I could be yours forever?”

it’s a very funny commercial and that’s why I like it – because it’s funny.

karateka remake coming soon

so says original game author jordan mechner [wired game blog]

they should have the original game available too if you want to retro out.

happy valentine’s day

yes

doesn’t even seem that fun anymore

it’s like me playing against my NJB rookie league team of 6 year old kids.

the warriors need jeremy lin

jeremy lin drops 25 on the New Jersey Nets last night, routinely beating all-star deron williams all around the court. why did the warriors drop him? they’ve got steph curry and monta ellis starting, with nate robinson and charles jenkins backing them up. nate robinson has provided some energy off the bench as the 6th man (10.7ppg, 4.7apg), but the jury is out if he is actually helping making the warriors any better with his questionable shot selection (41% FG and 30% 3FG). charles jenkins? he should be in the d-league for now. can he jenkins score 25 on the Nets? not this year.

since jeremy lin was raised here in palo alto, he was also a fan favorite, usually greeted with rousing cheers.

maybe it was good he got let go. maybe he can get some consistent playing time somewhere else. once again, warriors management showing their flashes of incompetence.

subdued niner fans

the mood was somber at derrick’s house while watching the niners lose to the giants. we were going crazy when vernon davis got them that 17th point, but the mood quickly changed for the worst after kyle williams two muffed return plays and sent the niners packing. overall, the group is glad that the niners don’t score all that much with the recent “drinking-a-shot-for-every-touchdown” game that we conjured up.
